but on one side. Head depressed in front, so that the antennal tubercles 
are distinct and between the eyes with two distinct fover. Thorax 
narrow and elongate, longer than broad, the sides prominent in the middle, 
the base margined ; on each side, behind the projecting part of the thorax, 
and obscured by it, there is a not very easily seen fovea. Blytra longer 
than the thorax, with a fine sutural stria, but otherwise without stri# or 
depressions. The whole of the upper surface is shining and impunctate, 
but bears some long, sparing, fine hairs. 
Bryaxis dispar, nu. sp. Piceo-rufa, nitida, setis elongatis tenuissimis 
parcius vestita ; vertice bifoveolato, fronte depressa; prothorace simplice, 
latitudine haud longiore ; elytris stria suturali distincta, discoidali nulla. 
Long. Corp. 23 mm. 
Mas., antennis 10-articulatis, articulis duobus ultimus estus, concavis ; 
trochanteribus anterioribus spina tenui elongata armatis; abdomine seg- 
mento 2° ventrali ante apicem processis tenuibus duobus leyiter recurvis 
insigne. 
Mas., antenne longer than head and thorax; first joint scarcely so long 
as the two following together ; fifth joint longer, but scarcely stouter than the 
contiguous ones ; eight joint small, scarcely so large as the seventh ; ninth 
joint large, cut away on one side, so as toleave the apical portion prominent 
on that side ; eleventh joint large, much broader in one direction than in 
the other, and with one of the two broad faces impressed or concave. Head 
with the front much depressed in the middle, and the vertex with two large 
fover. Thorax much narrower than the elytra, about as long as broad, the 
sides dilated a little in front of the middle, and on each side there is an in- 
distinct fovea behind the dilated part. Elytra much longer than the thorax, 
with a deep and distinct sutural stria; but without other impressions. 
Legs long and rather slender. The whole of the upper surface is shining 
and impunctate, and bears some long, fine hairs. 
Bryawis deformis,n. sp. Fem., rufescens, nitida, setis elongatis tennis- 
simis parcius vestita; capite quadrifoveolato (foveis frontalibus antice 
minus discretis) ; prothorace simplice ; elytris strié suturali profunda, dis- 
coidali nulla ; predibus quatuor anterioribus deformibus (tibiis extus curva- 
tis). Long. corp. 2 mm. 
This species closely resembles the Fem. of B. dispar, but has the antenne 
shorter and stouter, and has two fovee in the frontal depression, which 
appear quite distinct and separate when viewed from above ; but less so 
when looked at from the front. The four front tibie are extremely remark- 
able, as from the middle to the extremity they are much bent outwards.
